Dick Around

"All I do now is dick around, All I do now is dick around, dick around

 Every day, every day, every day Every night, every night, every night Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night

 Overtime, more overtime, I'm conscientious by design
 To reach the heights of academe To be the captain of the team
 To CEO a thousand who will do the things I say to do
 And I will make a lot of bread And you will find me good in bed
 I will push, I will pull, I will push, I will pull
 Pull a couple strings and find myself atop the corporation

 Tailored to the maximum, I send another fax to them
 A parking place, a new Corvette, a manicure, a private jet,
 A stock incentive busting out,
 "A phone call, sir."
 Well, say I'm out.
 "Your lady friend."
 Well, put it through.
 (SHE:) "Uh, listen, dear, I'm through with you."
 (SHE:) "Through with you, through with you, through with you, through with you."
 Yes, I think I got the point and bang, there goes my motivation
 What to do, what to do, what to do, what to do,
 All that I can think of was "I'm tendering my resignation."
 But, all I do now is dick around
 All I do now, is dick around, dick around

 All I do now is dick around, when the sun goes up and the moon comes out 
 When the leaves are green and the leaves are brown 
 All I do now is dick around 
 I've got so much to do, gotta pick things up, gotta see things through 
 My, how the time does fly, gotta wave hello to a passerby 
 All I do now is dick around, when the sun goes up and the moon comes out 
 When the leaves are green and the leaves are brown 
 All I do now is dick around 
 I've got so much do 
 Gotta pick things up, gotta see things through 
 My how the time does fly, Gotta wave hello to a passerby
 All I do now is dick around, when the sun goes up and the moon comes out 
 When the leaves are green and the leaves are brown All I do now is dick around

 Think about the recent past The cynics said too good to last
 But she could change her mind again Oh, no, this movie said "The End"
 So I will go about my day Just dicking round, my metier
 And realize that life is change And furniture to rearrange

 Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?
 Why the hell did she desert you when you were so influential?
 Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?
 Why did she desert you when you told her she was so essential?

 Pull yourself up off the ground You've started liking being down

 The persecution feels cool The subtle feel of garden tools
 But what about that other life 'Cause this is more an afterlife
 Seducing you each night and day You're never gonna break away
 Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
 Knowing that from now on what you do is strictly non-essential
 Look at me, look at me, look at me, look at me,
 Knowing that from now on no one wonders if you've got potential

 All I do is dick around, the sun goes up and the moon goes down
 The leaves are green the leaves are brown
 And all I do is dick around
 Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?
 Why the hell did she desert you when you were so influential?
 Why the hell, why the hell, why the hell, why the hell?
 Why did she desert you when you told her she was so essential?

 But all I do now, is dick around All I do now is dick around, dick around 
 Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day
 Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night 
 Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day 
 Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night 
 Every day, every day, every day, every day, every day 
 Every night, every night, every night, every night, every night

 But all I do now is dick around All I do now is dick around, dick around

 And all I do now is dick around
 All I do now is dick around, dick around

 Then I got the late-night call,
 (SHE:) "I really miss you after all"
 "I had a fling and that is all,
 "A stupid fling, then hit the wall."
 "So take me, take me, take me back."
 "I love the way you scratched my back."

 (HE:) Well, there is something you should know."
 (HE:) We might not be simpatico."

 All I do now, is dick around All I do now, is dick around

 (SHE:) "I don't care what you do, dick around, I will too."
 (SHE:) "I don't care what you do, I'll dick around next to you." But all I do now, is dick around

 All I do now, is dick around
 Dick around
